Hi all,
A nice double on Thursday with wins by Didonato & High Commissioner. I was amazed by the drift by the former, returned at 6/1! That’s the second day we have seen one drift out markedly and yet win. Thank the Lord for BOG.
It’s going to be hard to keep the winning run going but I will continue to aim to win one in three races to at least cover stakes or make a small consistent profit. I’m not aiming for doubles or trebles although its nice when they occasionally come in.
Today’s selections are from Doncaster & Dundalk.
Doncaster
3:25 – Zalvados – 9/2 @ Coral & Ladbrokes – Put in a career best effort on RPR’s when winning over C&D 35-days ago. That was his first success over fences at the 10th attempt. The selection has been raised 7lb for that success but he remains on a workable mark and shouldn’t be far away again.
5:05 – Passing Shadow – 15/2 @ Bet365 & Paddy Power – The 7-year-old maybe 0-8 under rules but ended last year with a couple of good efforts on good & good to soft ground. He was beaten just a short head over today’s distance at Huntingdon, off 3lb lower, before finding an extended 2m to sharp at Taunton 85-days ago. Fitness taken on trust but the going will suit and he’s capable of winning off his present mark.
Dundalk
8:00 – Major Power –7/2 – Gen – The selection has returned from a 315-day break with two excellent efforts, was just touched off over a mile here three weeks ago. The drop back to 7f won’t be an inconvenience, as his form figures over C&D are 1361112 and he won this race 12 months ago. He’s been nudged up 1lb for his last effort but looks set for another good run.
Cheers
John
